I use 2.4.22 kernel with some ck patches. I've got an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro and I was only able to get fb working with 2.6.x kernels, no luck with 2.4.x. And even with 2.6 bootsplash seriously crashes first the display, then the whole system. But I must admin that I did not try too hard to fix that, I've now got a fb with 1280x1024x32 @ 60 Hz, no bootsplash, and that's all I need :) I would recommend you to give 2.6 a try.
